[PATCH 0/4] use the pager in 'add -p'

["Rubén Justo" <rjusto@gmail.com>]

I'm resuming work on introducing a mechanism to use the PAGER to display
hunks during interactive "git add -p" sessions, which will make it
easier to review large hunks.

The thread where the previous discussion took place is:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/1d0cb55c-5f32-419a-b593-d5f0969a51fd@gmail.com/

I'm bringing back the proposal to introduce 'P' as a mechanism to
display the current hunks through the PAGER.

I think it's sensible to exclude from the scope of this series the
option of a new command '|[cmd]' and other modifications to the original
proposal that have raised questions that perhaps deserve their own
discussion, outside the scope of this series.  Questions like:

   - What to do with ANSI codes?
   - How to allow the definition of a default command?
   - How to facilitate the reuse of a command?
   - How to combine a default command with command reuse?
   - What to do if the command fails?

To mention a few...

I'm also leaving for a future series a possible configuration
"interactive.pipeCommand", "interactive.pager" or similar.

I hope this approach makes sense and allows us to move forward, and that
it doesn't represent a step back.

Thanks.
